What is Family?

from A Thousand Tiny Steps · host Barb Higgins

As usual on nights I can't sleep I turned on the TV and into the most amazing series on a woman's children who are kidnapped by the father and the tension that ensues. It made me think about what a family is, how that defines us, the societal rules around it, and what role domestic violence leaves people.  Key Takeaways:    [0:49] The show: No One Saw Us Leave is amazing! [2:30] The patriarchy in this really struck a chord with me [5:18] Vicarious violence and second order violence  [7:26] Equality is not the same thing as equity  [10:10] The nuclear family and societal rules  [14:01] How this show connects to my job loss and upbringing  [18:09] How far should family loyalty go? [19:46] What's disrupting families [23:25] What does family mean to you?   Resources:   No One Saw Us Leave Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   Be a guest on the podcast    YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
